The Lobste.rs invitation tree, visualized

Lobste.rs makes its entire invitation tree public. I scraped it and built this interactive visualization. Some interesting patterns: - The top 10 inviters are responsible for ~40% of all users. - The tree is surprisingly shallow: Most users are only 4-6 generations from the founder. Max depth is around 15. Built with Sigma.js for WebGL rendering. Works on mobile too. (I am seeking a lobste.rs invite if anyone's willing! – my email is in my profile)

The Lobste.rs invitation tree, visualized launched on December 29, 2025 with 5 votes, #2,550 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
